Good morning Ben,

I just finished watching your interview with Governor Andy Beshear. It was awesome. This guy has what it takes to make an impact on America. I would vote for him in a heartbeat.

Several people have mentioned him to run for President and we all know having Trump there right now we have a few more years of his corruption. After I saw what happened on J6, and then the J6 Committee Member’s getting threats, & Morning Joe is sure talking about this today, but Elon knows way too much I literally can’t stand the guy

Yes, Ma'am, Teresa. 💙Governor Andy Beshear would be an excellent candidate. Morning Joe can go pound sand. That, or volunteer to become Dump's private diaper changer (PDC).

But, from the looks of Dumpty lately, I have a feeling he's not going to complete his mission. As long as he continues to fail Putrid and Project 2025 he'll lose his usefulness and their support.

As for Elon? He's a Ketamine addict and barely conscious. He's fooled himself into believing he has "purchased America." He's as wrong as two left shoes! He needs to be expelled from the USA and muzzled (I'd go for a custom-made Hannibal Lector mask). Toss his butt right back to South Africa. He was not elected.

You're right about J6 and threats. These idiots can continue to do Dumpty's bidding. They're likely to lose their freedom just like the original J6 sheeple who stupidly listened to Dummy Donald! Let them.

We have it on good authority the infighting is doing a negative job on the cabinet. It's only going to get worse. After all, "God is [not] the author of confusion ..." And, what do we see everywhere the orange idiot shows up or opens his yap? You guessed it--confusion. "Cleanup in aisle nine!" LOL 😂

Thanks to MTN I am seeing several folks I think would do a great job as President that I was unaware of until I saw good interviews with them on MTN.. At best other "news" outlets only do a snippet of interviews and the longer ones MTN does are great!! Of course a few of the folks I think would make outstanding presidents are from Canada!!! To be honest, of the "new guys" that I have not known much about, I don't know who I'd vote for in a primary, from Breshear, to Wes Moore, to Pritzker and "even" Walz (I don't quite include him as a new guy but I still sure like him). And there are several Senators and Congressmen and woman who will be good candidates. But again, without MTN I'd have no idea!

Watch the Congressional machinations, before the midterms, to change the Constitution and allow musk to run for president. And even without that we have to make sure there actually will BE midterms...

(& now that I think of it, trump may feel just empowered enough to declare via executive order that the Constitution be changed, since this scotus will back him up on anything he does, even if he ties a child to the Resolute desk and defecates on her)

There will not be another election! Please understand - Our Govt illegally dismantled in front of our eyes! We are no longer a DEMOCRACY - we are being led by NAZI MAGATS!

March on DC now before the MILITARY PURGE, already started w/ illegal firings of TOP GENERALS & JAG OFFICERS, continues & only NAZI MAGATS remain. AI is combing SOCIAL MEDIA right now to identify officers who are opposed to NAZI MAGAT REGIME.

We must march peacefully in to DC by the MILLIONS & SHUT DOWN DC!

If we wait, the MILITARY PURGE will continue & only NAZI MAGATS will remain & they will carry out illegal orders to round up the opposition to the 14,000 acre CONCENTRATION CAMP already being built by TEXAS GOV ABBOTT or shoot us if we protest.

The Military will not shoot us now, but we have such limited time to shutdown DC Peacefully.

If we do nothing, this regime will strip the US of its wealth in Gold, Social Security, Treasury.

Gr8Americanlib TX, I used to live in a more conservative area. Every time I’d take the car in for oil changes, repairs etc. Fox News would be on in the waiting room. I complained every single time. The managers would say people turned it to that station- BS. I’d get the remote & change it. At Audi, I complained 3 times, then wrote to headquarters saying Fox News on tv made me feel unwanted in their dealership. The next few times I went in, they had an endless loop of Audi commercials-No more Faux News! I also complained to every hotel that had it on. Let them know!

In the meantime, as Ben said, we HAVE to "listen".

Do you have any idea yourself, by chance?

Lisa59's avatar

Republicans have replaced the n-word with DEI. We have white supremacists running the show. The Civil War never ended. It's been rolled out in phases for decades.

For many, this election was about protecting white privilege and their wealth. Racism wins their elections. It's called brutal racial subordination. Republicans goal of dumbing down and dehumanizing the public works for them. As we see in this moment. This is intentional.

Expand full comment
EUWDTB's avatar

Thanks for your thoughts. I think it's more complicated than that. Yes, the neofascist GOP needs racist, white supremacy voters more than ever before. That's just a fact. They would never win elections without that part of their coalition. But in my experience, many non-racists experienced DEI trainings as pretty violent too, and there's really something wrong with its underlying philosophy, which couldn't be more opposite to what MLK Jr. and second-wave anti-racism/anti-social injustice proposed.

MLK's work was based on the spiritual motto "love your enemies". DEI trainings often do the opposite: consider anyone who might "trigger" difficult emotions an enemy and learn to be afraid of him, to blame him for your own emotions, and to violently tell him to shut up, especially if he happens to be white and/or a white male. I went through trainings where even using the WORD "we" was seen as "violent speech". These trainings ARE violent, and without them, I don't think Trump would have been able to get so many votes from independents.

And then there is the fact that the uneducated (of all colors and genders) are actually suffering, materially, so it's quite absurd to imagine that they belong to the category of those who are "privileged and wealthy" (and yet, that is what DEI trainings tell them they SHOULD be treated as). Obviously, there ARE privileges that come with being white, in this country, but the way these trainings propose it makes it impossible to see and openly acknowledge the real suffering (both material and mental and often also spiritual) of white men (or, for that matter, young black and Latino men), especially the uneducated among them.

Again, NONE of this justifies what is being done to your partner. All I'm saying is that if we imagine that we can reduce the problem to racism only, imho we're missing the bigger picture here, and we need that bigger picture before we'll be able to efficiently fight back.

Lisa59's avatar

DEI has been a cluster fuck for sure in some spaces. Pitting one group of persons against another doesn't work. The programs themselves failed their purpose.

Now, billionaires, like Leonard Leo and those two Christian Nationalists billionaires from Texas, Musk, and others did get Agent Orange elected. They paid for the disinformation campaign. Leo paid for the entire Budwiser/trans bullshit. They paid for their Hate Thy Neighbor campaign.

Over 40% of the poor do not vote. That's the last thing they are thinking about when they are trying to stretch out Ramen noodles for the last week of the month. None of this happened in a vacuum. People vote against their own best interests. Politicians love to divide us. Maybe we all have had a bellyfull of their bullshit. We, the people have the power to change this collectively.

I didn't know Leo yet, thanks for the info. And a "Hate Thy Neighbor" campaign??!! Do you have a link about that, by chance?

Apart from that, imho saying that "politicians" love to divide us is way too cynical. It's definitely NOT the goal of most Democratic politicians, who vitally need "we the people" to inform ourselves, come together, and yes, learn how to love our neighbor. Because without such a culture on the level of society, democracy itself cannot thrive.

Leo is the guy who orchestrated and financed our Supreme Court. Check out ProPublica. Leo is head of the Federalists. He also as a long history with the Heritage Foundation. He is the keeper of the dark money underworld. He is affiliated with Opus Dei. He wants to be the Pope, if he could. He tries to stay in the shadows. He is the force behind Project 2025. He's responsible for where we are today.

The first phase of Project 2025 was written in 1980 by Paul Weyrich. When the Heritage Foundation was founded.

No, Meidas doesn’t “need” direction. I/we don’t find MTN lacking in its aim, mission, content, substance, or timeliness. We don’t need to go elsewhere.

As a rule, we don’t follow links unless they are [vetted and posted] by Ben, Jordy, Brett, Ron, Popok, Cohen, MTN contributors, and/or affiliates.

There are several ways to drive traffic to a site or an article if that’s your intent. This isn’t a jumpoff platform just so you know. 📌

That said, I suggest you refrain from posting directives (loosely couched as suggestions) unless and until specifically requested by an MTN site host. We don’t leave this site in response to OP’s not-so-subtle urging.
